Chris: I do not think this is the same bug. They talk about inkscape and a bug in saving tablet preferences, where probably unicode characters were written to the xml file, but read back incorrectly from there on a new start. This one is about not opening files with non-ascii characters in the filename ONLY by inkview on a win32 platform, and most likely due to misinterpreting the result of a QueryDirectory Call.
